Recent genetic research has shed light on the origins of the Beachy Head Woman, a Roman-era individual previously thought to represent the first black Briton. Contrary to earlier claims, new findings indicate that she was actually a local woman from Eastbourne in southern England, challenging assumptions about her racial identity. Multiple sources confirm that the individual, initially recognized as the first black Briton, was in fact white. This reanalysis emphasizes the importance of careful genetic assessment in understanding the diverse history of early Britain.
